Here are the questions for the Vanderbilt edition of the RTT Guessing Game:
- How many net rushing yards does Montario Hardesty finish with (within ten)?
- How many points does Vanderbilt score (within one)?
- Is this the game that Eric Berry gets the record?
As always, put your answers in THE SUBJECT LINE of your response to this thread. For example, my guesses:
155, 8, yes (please!!!)
Correct answers get you points in the GGuessing Game season standings. Have fun, and Go Vols!

Paradise Jam: Vols beat ECU 105-66

Based on what we could gather from the audio only - because none of us wanted to pay eight dollars for the opening round of the Paradise Jam Tournament, Fox Broadband - the Vols kept right on rolling in their third game of the season, beating Conference USA's East Carolina 105-66.
The Vols were sloppy in the first eight minutes, watching ECU jump out to a 19-13 lead. But from there, the Vols went on a 22-3 run and never looked back. It was a big day for Tennessee's guards: Cameron Tatum stayed hot from beyond the arc and finished with 17 points, Bobby Maze had a big day and got 15. And the news continues to be great about Scotty Hopson's maturation process, which looks more and more like the real deal every game: Hopson puts in 25 points before coming out with eight minutes left in the game, shooting 10-of-15 and 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. Hopson has been the best player on the floor in all three games thus far.
When you combine the great offensive guard play with a swarming defense that forced 35 turnovers and a balanced attack that got 48 points in the paint and 48 points off turnovers, it's all good news for the Vols. Tyler Smith is still around with 13 points, and the Vols utilized an 11 man rotation, including Renaldo Woolridge who had 8 points, to wear ECU out. The Vols shot 13-of-26 from three as a team, and even better, 12-of-14 at the free throw line. All good.
The Vols will now face DePaul in the tournament semifinals Sunday night at 6:00 PM EST (a game we believe will be seen on Fox Sports South or SportSouth). The Blue Demons upset defending Missouri Valley tournament champions Northern Iowa 60-52, a big win for a team that went 0-18 in the Big East last year. The Vols will play Monday evening at some point, depending on the outcome of Sunday's game, with #7 Purdue as well as Boston College, St. Joseph's and South Dakota State lurking in the other half of the bracket.

Tennessee Senior Day 2009: Rico McCoy

Before we get to our last senior spotlight, here's a look at the other names you'll hear called on Saturday:
- TE Jeff Cottam ends his Tennessee career with 7 catches, 2 for touchdowns going into Saturday's game. Played together with his brother Brad in 2007.
- CB Marsalous Johnson saw duty in UT's nickel and mustang packages over the last three seasons, finishing with one sack and one interception.
- DT Andre Mathis saw spot duty at a variety of positions in the defensive front in his four years, seemingly never finding the right fit. He has 9 career tackles going into Saturday.
- Others include DB Derrick Furlow, the snapper/holder combination of Morgan Cox and Bram Cannon, and walk ons Johnny Harrison, Steven Hensley and Sean White. Austin Rogers is applying for a sixth year of eligibility, so I'm not sure if he's running Saturday or not.
Our last spotlight senior has been that one that's contributed the most over the course of all four of his seasons in Knoxville, a four year starter at linebacker...

Tennessee Senior Day 2009: Wes Brown & Dan Williams
by Will on Nov 20, 2009 12:30 PM EST
in Tennessee Volunteer Football

Defensive tackle was a huge question mark for Tennessee entering this season, but these two seniors have done a tremendous job answering it.
Wes Brown joins Josh McNeil in the bad knees club, but has made it through ten games this season without missing much action. Lane Kiffin moved Brown from defensive end to defensive tackle, and Brown hasn't missed a beat. He's recorded 3.5 sacks and 5 TFLs this season, to go along with an interception picked up last week at Ole Miss. He took a position in question and turned it into a solid answer for this defense.
We knew Dan Williams was good coming into this season, but his play has been simply outstanding. An All-SEC and All-America candidate, Williams has 6.5 TFLs and 8 QB hurries this season to go along with 52 tackles, leading the way in the trenches and blowing up running plays by himself on several occasions. And remember, without Dan Williams' block, Lones Seiber makes this kick and Georgia goes to the SEC Championship Game instead of us:
Montori Hughes and the other Vols who will step in next season have big shoes to fill on both counts at defensive tackle. Meanwhile, Dan Williams could join Eric Berry in the first round of April's NFL Draft.
